You, the Dog and a Cotter Crate - all you need
David Beattie of Sheep School put 2 doses into 180 ewes in rapid time using a Cotter Crate sheep handler. He bought it for lambs. He didn't expect this sheep handling system to handle ewes this well. Watch how sheep flow up the ramp with just the dog for help - no pacing up and down a sheep race all day.
The Cotter Crate is grant eligible in Ireland, England, Wales and Northern Ireland. See our full sheep handler grants guide for the latest schemes and how to apply.
